Chapter 1450: Wait for an Opportunity
Don’t mention him; even the chairman probably doesn’t know what kind of opinion is given here. Moreover, it’s Xu Ke’s name on the approval, and by then these directors might want to have a chat with me about old times.
The assistant had no choice but to quickly come up with an excuse and head to the next department. But after the assistant left, the Finance Department Director opened the document and saw Xu Ke’s name glaringly at the top, and immediately exploded — this morning, their department was being messed with by Xu Ke.
But how come this afternoon, after submitting another document, it was still approved by Xu Ke? And what’s more, the document wasn’t approved; Xu Ke even wrote a sentence directly on it.
"If the Finance Department Director thinks these documents are useful, then bring a few more. I think burning paper would be quite nice, but I’m not sure if the chairman will be satisfied."
Seeing this sentence, the Finance Department Director could immediately envision Xu Ke’s arrogant demeanor.
But there’s nothing they can do; everyone in their department has tried their best, yet they can’t pinpoint what exactly is wrong. Actually, drafting budgets for all the departments every year is already the toughest task for the Finance Department. Normally, no one cares, but this year they want all the budgets compiled thoroughly.
And for such a large company, how on earth does their finance department properly draft a budget!
But the assistant said they can’t seek out the chairman today, so regrettably the Finance Department Director has to shoulder this burden alone, shaking their head helplessly as they see the employees.
The other department directors, after seeing that signature, became even more infuriated. Is Xu Ke really going to replace the chairman and become the next chairman? If so, they’ll be in real trouble because Xu Ke is extremely decisive and forceful.
Moreover, many have already investigated; it’s said that while Xu Ke was at a branch office, he paid no mind even to the senior employees. Just how are they supposed to cope under Xu Ke’s hand?
"You all need to think of a solution. If things continue this way, our company won’t survive, and think about your own livelihoods. It’s not easy to get into this company; does everyone really want to leave in disgrace? People would surely laugh at us."
"What can I do? It’s the chairman who wanted to bring Xu Ke into this company. Even if I have any opinions, I have to endure, so it’s up to you to think of a solution. I have no options, especially since the chairman is difficult to talk to."
"I do have an idea, though. Isn’t there a rumor that the chairman has a particularly capable son-in-law? How about we bring the chairman’s son-in-law into the company to distract the chairman; naturally, the chairman’s resentment towards Xu Ke will rise, and our salvation might come."
Upon hearing this idea, everyone seemed to see the dawn of hope, and at this moment, they all began taking action without any sense of guilt.
"Alright, since we have a plan, let’s get to work without delay. If we keep delaying, we’ll all still be at the mercy of this devil."
The group didn’t bother fixing the rejected documents but instead sought solutions. However, they were all disheartened when they saw the news — it turns out Su Zining had a car accident, not to mention was arrested.
Is this fate helping Xu Ke? Thinking of this, they were all dispirited; what are they supposed to do now after coming up with so many plans, if things continue this way, everyone is doomed.
"Alright, I’ll give you some bad news. The reason Su Zining had a car accident was because he crashed into the chairman’s car, and it’s said that the chairman is particularly displeased with Su Zining now. If you truly want to present Su Zining to the chairman, the chairman might directly throw a fit. If any of you want to give up your positions, then go ahead; anyway, I’m not going."
"I’ll go revise my department’s stuff; maybe there’s genuinely something wrong. Alright, enough talk, I’m going now."
At this time, the Finance Department Director had already thought of a means to counter Xu Ke, but these people wouldn’t cooperate and join forces, leaving the director to ponder alone.
Besides, the R&D Department Director supposedly fainted; they should be waking up about now, right?
When the Finance Department Director went over, sure enough, the R&D Department Director was holding a girl and drinking tea, appearing not to be that angry.
"Oh wow, I didn’t expect you’d have this mentality. Didn’t you see? The company is changing, and you’re still here drinking tea. I see you’re not worried at all. In that case, I’ll just figure it out on my own."
The Finance Department Director pretended to be angry and said, while the R&D Department Director pushed the matter aside. The girl stood up with a smile on her face, "Oh brother, why are you angry with me? We’ve known each other for so many years; do you really have the heart to be mad at me? Besides, I am working on it. I was so upset by that person just now."
"I even told the chairman, yet he doesn’t want me anymore. Who am I supposed to vent to? I didn’t even do anything wrong, and now I’ve offended the chairman."
The mention of this turned the R&D Department Director sullen, with escalating resentment toward Xu Ke. If it weren’t for Xu Ke, they wouldn’t have been dismissed by the chairman.
"Although I want to help you with this matter, I’m willing but powerless. The chairman already asked me to resign; I can’t make a scene in the company, so this can only rely on you. If you manage this well, maybe I can come back to work with you in the future."
Because he was busy reading documents, he hadn’t noticed that the R&D Department Director got into trouble — what to do now? If everything fell on his shoulders alone, does that mean he has to bear the brunt of offending the chairman?
Originally, the chairman was angry enough already. If he offended the chairman again this time, there’d be no good days for him.
"Since the chairman has already let you leave the company, I dare not handle this alone. When there’s an opportunity, I will surely bring you back; rest assured."
The Finance Department Director gave a promise without real backing and wanted to leave in a hurry, after all, the R&D Department Director was no longer part of the company. What good is there in sticking together?
But seeing as the R&D Department Director finally caught someone, how could he let them go so easily? Even if he can’t get reinstated, at least he can slight Xu Ke; he can’t just swallow this loss.
